My stats are higher than yours!

"it is good."

Bai Shuodong aimed at the target and said, "I'm going to begin."

"Ah."

Gauss nodded.

【cut】

Without any warning, the slash appeared on the target instantly, with astonishing speed.

[Domain Expansion - Formless Forbidden Domain - Slash]

It is faster and has a stronger slashing power, cutting the target in half with a single blow. It is extremely powerful.

"So fast? There was absolutely no warning."

Gauss's eyes gleamed. He rested his hand on his chin and said, "Although I've seen you use this move before, after confirming it completely, I'm certain that you don't even need any preparation in your normal state to use it. It's simply outrageous."

He nodded and then initiated a transfer in the private message interface.

[Note: The Scholar of Truth has transferred 1000 Psionic Points to you]

“Alright, I’ve finished looking. You don’t need to look for the extra psionic points,” Gauss said.

"?"

Bai Shuodong looked at him in confusion and asked, "Wait, it hasn't been an hour yet, has it?"

“I didn’t give you 100,000. I just need to see how you use it. Watching you use it is useless to me,” Gauss said matter-of-factly.

"No... then you're telling me 100,000 spiritual energy points per hour?" Bai Shuodong pressed.

"Isn't the actual price I gave you higher than this when converted over time?"

"..."

"You weren't allowed to use the training room?"

"..."

"Alright, I'm going to do my research now. You can have fun here. See you later." Gauss left naturally and calmly, with a relaxed smile on his face.

Chapter 140 Gauss's Flaw!

Gauss is gone.

Bai Shuodong sat in his training room, head down, lost in thought.

Not right.

Something's nine out of ten wrong.

Gauss's behavior was indeed unconventional, with a unique style of pretentiousness. His entire speech was flawless, and every word and action of his seemed to be aimed at completely destroying my worldview.

but...

Are mages really that rich? So rich that they decorate their unused training rooms like this?

Bai Shuodong remained skeptical.

Moreover, there is serious doubt.

He felt that Gauss was deliberately putting on a show for him. The 1000 psionic points he paid didn't seem to be because he didn't need to see them, but rather because Gauss's balance might really be running out. Otherwise, how could a guy as good at putting on a show not put on another show in front of him?

While this way of dressing up can show his unconventionality, it also carries a hint of calculation, which contradicts his usual style.

Correct!

This doesn't match his usual style!

This is the key point!

How could someone as pretentious and detail-oriented as Gauss, who would use magic to fine-tune lighting, make a mistake on such a detail?

There is only one answer...

He's just putting on a brave face!

And my wallet is really going to be empty!

"hey-hey!"

Bai Shuodong suddenly smiled with relief, having figured out another key point.

Gauss's current level.

He's currently level 3, a mage. There are quite a few mages at level 3, so that's fine.

However, Bai Shuodong had seen him release his spiritual energy in preparation for battle at Paradise. The intensity of that golden spiritual energy was definitely not low, and his raw strength might be enough to defeat three Mingyu.

This guy is so strong, why is he only level 3? Is it because he's broke? Or because he became a psionicist too late?

Or is it...?

Bai Shuodong's lips began to curl into a wild smile as he thought of an extremely outrageous possibility, but one that was entirely plausible for Gauss.

He spent all his money on the renovations!

Holy crap! If that's really happening!

That Gauss guy is absolutely insane!

However, the thought that this guy was my teammate suddenly made things seem reasonable again. Yes... he was my teammate.

I don't care about all that!

Let's practice first! Hehe!

Such a great environment, why not take advantage of it!

Bai Shuodong took out a training rifle from his storage space and began practicing in the training room.

The spear danced, moving with the wind, its strikes and attacks landing continuously on the training target, leaving marks of varying depths.

The process and feel of the slashing were so perfect. Although he was training in the combination of spearmanship and slashing, his long weapon skills were improving, and at a fairly steady and rapid pace.

Is this the effect of a series of enhancements such as comprehension and mental agility? That's incredible!

I practice here every day, I'm invincible!

A smile bloomed on Bai Shuodong's face, but it quickly turned into dissatisfaction. Practicing alone in front of a target was clearly not enough to satisfy him.

If it were just a normal day, it wouldn't be so bad, but in this top-level training environment, training the same way as before simply wouldn't satisfy him.

"no!"

"That won't do!"

"Men must fight!"

Bai Shuodong immediately opened his private messages, found Xia Yanxin as quickly as possible, and started sending a message.

【Private letters】

Ember: Come to the xxx training room.

Hunter: ?

Embers: Attack.

Hunter: Okay.

Communication between strong individuals is that simple and straightforward; no extra words are needed, and a single word is enough to encompass everything.

In Xia Yanxin's private training room, she squatted on the edge of the combat zone, looking at Su Qingli lying on the ground with her hands on her chest and her dull eyes staring at the ceiling. She said, "You can play by yourself for now. Bai Shuodong called me, so I'm going to go play with him."

"really?"

Su Qingli instantly came to her senses, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears, and she felt boundless gratitude towards Bai Shuodong.

Sin!

I'm crazy, I'm going to fight her!

This guy's fighting spirit is more than just strong; she's like an insatiable beast, desperately squeezing every last drop of blood from her prey.

"gone."

Watching Xia Yanxin leave, Su Qingli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Two minutes later.

The door clicked open again, and Su Qingli's gaze instinctively turned to the doorway. She saw Xia Yanxin walking back with a smile. Her heart skipped a beat, and she forced a smile as she asked, "You...you didn't leave, did you?"

"I am back."

Xia Yanxin said.

Aren't you going to fight him?

Su Qingli suddenly felt like crying and began to regret her decision.

"I'll take you with me."

Xia Yanxin walked up to Su Qingli, grabbed her by the back of the neck, pulled her up, and said with a grin, "How can a warrior fight and spar without a support healer? If you get tired or injured, there will always be someone to heal you. Isn't that great!"
